This miniature book about feelings for kids is called “My Book About Feelings” and comes to us from Scholastic.com. That’s right, the people known for school book fairs and those book order forms that your kids bring home all the time also offers a series of mini printable books for kids.
This particular book gives young children (officially aged 3-5, but potentially slightly older kids too) an opportunity to write about their feelings. At only 8 half-pages long, this rhyming book asks kids to write out what makes them happy, sad, scared, mad and glad. In addition, it asks children to record the best feeling they’ve ever had and one additional emotion of their choice.
This resource can be potentially very valuable for younger children experiencing intense emotions. While it lacks a certain depth, any exercise which helps kids to identify their own emotions can have a healing (and often long-lasting) effect, and we would recommend this resource for younger children.
For a more extensive treatment of emotions and helping kids to recognize and deal with them, as well as a resource for older children, please see the resources we developed titled My Feelings Workbook and Draw Your Emotions.
